β¦ Synopsis
We describe a patient who developed granulocytic sarcomas of the mesentery and breast approximately 4 yrs following an allogenic bone marrow transplantation for acute myeloblastic leukemia. The diagnosis was made by a combination of fine-needle aspiration cytology and flow cytometry. The differential diagnoses of localized masses in posttransplant patients and how the combination of fine-needle aspiration cytology and flow cytometry may be used are discussed.

The present report describes the case of a 21-mo-old boy with a fetal rhabdomyomatous nephroblastoma (FRN) diagnosed by fineneedle aspiration cytology (FNAC). The smears contained numerous isolated or clustered, deeply eosinophilic, thin, elongated rhabdomyoblasts with oval nuclei. Some of these cel
